I finally received my ASOS order >> Click onthis to go to my earlier ASOS blog. I think they were experiencing some problems with their September orders. Saw so many people with complaints on ASOS's facebook page. I realised that they do not have such issues in the past.Well, it was my first order with ASOSand it wasn't a good experience !!!!! Aww !

But meanwhile, I realised something interesting! I have two friends on my facebook who have clicked "like" on ASOS Facebook and they are both guys !! mmm ... that means guys love to do online shopping on ASOS too !! And these are the two guys whom I think are usually very well dressed . Now , I know where they get their clothes from .. mm ....

My ASOS order came in a very different packaging from my Forever 21. ASOS order doesn't come in a box but in a black ASOS bag (I was quite glad that I didn't order any bags or else they might have be damaged!)

The clothes came in individual bags too and there is a label on each bag to tell you the item and the size.

There is also a return form whereby customers who are not satisfied with their orders can do an exchange or refund.

2 pieces that I bought from ASOS:

I like the style but the quality wasn't as good as I thought.

The fabric is super thin and it is definitely not worth to buy at £16.00 (approx SG$33) , not inclusive of shipping fees ! The dress is definitely not flattering to my body. I am quite disappointed and will do a refund for this dress as I didn't expect the quality of the dress to be that poor : (

I think I will keep this Lightweight shorts playsuit. I bought this at £15.00 (approx SG$31), which is already at a Sale Price! The quality of this suit is average (Cotton) and it is rather comfortable. However, I still think that the item is abit overpriced !

For my 2 other pieces, I am going to ask for a refund. I am disappointed with both the quality (very thin material) and the price they were sold at. For the dress on the right, I was so shocked to realise that it is a SEE THROUGH dress when I received the dress! The picture on the website does not hint about the see-through nature of the dress.

I think the experience is enough to prevent me from ordering anymore items from them. I would never consider ordering any item that wasn't on sale. Shipping costs are ridiculously high yet there is no tracking method and customers need to wait longer than the estimated arrival date. I will check with my colleague on Monday whether she wants to do any refunds for any of her items and we will ship the items back together. I am going to use the money to buy more Forever 21 items instead !

Option 1 - Delivery to Singapore is up to 11 working days at a flat rate of £10.50 , with no tracking service.

Option 2 - Delivery to Singapore is up to 4 working days at a flat rate of £20, with tracking service.

Service : Email correspondence between buyer and Customer Service is prompt and fast.

Product: The clothes are of poor quality, similiar to the clothes we can buy from local blogshops or Bugis Village. I didn't expect the material to be so thin. According to many reviews I saw online, the size chart on the website is not accurate. It really depends on your luck whether you have chosen the right size for your clothes!

Price: Definitely overpriced. I will never buy any item which is not on Sale!

Ms Black & Ms Chocolate

We are 2 simple working gals who both love online shopping! We cannot resist nor control ourselves and we realised lately that our addiction to online shopping is overwhelming! Our husbands are thinking of freezing our credit cards in the fridge so that they can stop us from this shopping craze :)

We decided to start this blog because there is no one particular website that is dedicated to reviews on online shopping sites. We always love to read up on experiences of others before we commit to our own shopping. Yes, there are many online personal blogs which has reviews on their personal online shopping experiences. But there was no dedicated blog that focused exclusively on online shopping sites.

Both of us love to discuss about where are the good buys and what are the good online sites. But sometimes, it is tough to find the right site selling the right stuff. We have been burnt many times by online shops! Haven't you? So we decided to start off this blog to share our experiences with fellow online shoppers.

Initially, this blog was set as private and shared only with friends. Recently, we thought that it would be a great idea to just share it with everyone else. Friends have commented that it was brilliant that we do comparisons between the actual product and what we see on the websites. They also said that they wanted their friends to be given access to this blog as well. Thus we decided to open up this blog to everyone on 1st Dec 2010 !!!

We will be only too glad that our readers contribute to our blog with their experiences as well!

We are two busy gals who hold full-time jobs as well as being housewives and might not be able to respond to emails promptly. Do wait patiently for our replies.
